:18:00
Yes.
:18:04
We have only two left.
Neither works properly.

:18:07
They are critical to our survival.
Will you fix them?

:18:10
Mr Data?
:18:11
Our computer has downloaded
the specifications

:18:14
for the magnetic coils
the freighters depend on.

:18:16
Assuming the malfunction is similar,
replacements can be fabricated.

:18:23
- Instruct Engineering to proceed.
- Aye, sir.

:18:28
Now, as for our cargo...
:18:30
- Our cargo, Captain.
- Wrong, Sobi!

:18:34
My First Officer has said
that ownership is in dispute,

:18:38
but this must be settled
:18:40
by whatever legal machinery
exists between your societies.

:18:43
You don't understand.
This is a matter of life and death.

:18:48
Why is that? What is this cargo?
:18:52
Medicine.
:18:55
Indeed?
:18:56
Our planet is in desperate need.
People have a lethal plague.

:19:03
The cargo is
the only hope of life for our people.

:19:08
Is that so?
:19:10
Yes.
:19:11
You must think us heartless,
but look at our side of it.

:19:16
The plant which yields felicium
grows only in remote areas of Brekka.

:19:21
It must be painstakingly
cultivated, harvested, purified.

:19:25
A complex and expensive process.
:19:28
That single shipment
represents an enormous investment.

:19:33
We can't just give it away.
:19:35
We paid for it.
We ask for only what is ours.

:19:38
That is your viewpoint.
Ours, of course, differs.

:19:43
You will hold to that position?
:19:45
I am constrained to abide
by the terms of our agreement.

:19:49
- You condemn us to death!
- Romas!

:19:52
You disgust me! lf you could see
the suffering the plague has caused!
